What is the difference between a 15'-4.5" prowler and a 15'-7.5" prowler?
Yeah I know, duh 3 inches. Are there other differences (model year, construction, cockpit configurations, hull shape, rudder mount)?
Thanks for the help. I know there are a few OK pros in residence.

The 15' 4.5" Prowler is the older standard Prowler 15. http://www.oceankayak.com/kayaks/angler_editions/prowler_15_angler.html
The 15' 7.5" Prowler is the newer Prowler Trident 15. http://www.oceankayak.com/kayaks/angler_editions/prowler_trident_15_angler.html
The newer Trident 15 has a few new features like the "rod pod" and "sonar shield" as well as a slightly wider haul. I have not had a good chance to paddle both enough to compare them, but Allen "Polepole" has. Maybe he'll chime in.

Thanks. I was wondering if that was the case. I think the site I was looking at posted the wrong image to go with the specs of the 15' 7.5", it looked identical to the 4.5".

Just curious, why did/do you refer to them by the number of inches past 15 ft instead of there official names?

In case you really want to be confused, there is an OK Elite 4.5, which is a New Zealand version of the P13 stretched to ~15 feet.
